Wow, what an interesting, intriguing game.

[@bgenns]

I for one have no complaints about gambit preparedness. Keep doing what you are doing!

[@williamblake7386]

Love it for 3 reasons(

[@remcovanhartevelt588]

numbering things seems like a great way to get them sweet views. Vid was interesting like a piece of toast falling, have a like and comment

[@InfernalPasquale]

This was like one of my games. Thanks for the laughs :)

@2:25 you should have taken knight with bishop for check and then took his bishop with your rook. You would have been up a piece.

Good day, dear Johnathan. How is it going? :-)
I'd love to see Deutz Gambit (see Johan-Sebastian vs. Bachmann), Albin Gambit (not countergambit: Italian Game: Classical Variation, Albin Gambit. 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. O-O Nf6 5.c3).
And the Zukertort Gambit of the Spanish.
You'll enjoy it - people today like to play Bc5 and Nf6 against the Spanish because comp approves, but in practice they can be gambitly-punished.
The line is:
e4 e5, Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 - Spanish.
Nf6 - Berlin
0-0
Bc5 - the super-hero move.
c3 - Zukertort Gambit
Either they 0-0 or Nxe4 - you have a pawn-roller - d4-d5-d6, screwing Black's development - having all the fun, probably a mate.
That's it, mate.
Good luck with your quest!

Another one in the scrapbook. As a sidenote, you inspired me to start playing RISK and so far it's been fun but frustrating. I try to use your way of playing as something like a blueprint for how I play :)

[@Carl-Gauss]

Wow, what an interesting intriguing game! Maybe next time don’t do analysis cause it kinda reveals it was all stupid in the end🙊

[@ibidthewriter]

Why wouldn't you take the knight with check and then capture the bishop?

[@realriskybiz]

my thoughts exactly.

[@Mallor998]

I doubt it's up to twitch plebs to decide who's world's best player.

[@gregorymorse8423]

Horrible, horrible game. But it's indeed a W :). Only 2 years until we have to get Jonathan an actual grail. Shall we make it out of clay or gold?

[@EvertfromNederland]

Well, I mean if some games are a bit shitty it could be a gold painted porcelain bowl but, in the end if he makes it is a fantastic achievement so I actually hope for no grail at all but rather an honorary chess title. One that others can only hope to attain.
But yeah, a golden grail I think would be nice.
